South Border’s Dylan Durias dies of heart failure in Los Angeles

The former South Border keyboard player who also had a beautiful voice has died from an apparent heart attack on a Monday shortly after having a meal in a restaurant in Los Angeles.

Durias was with other two friends shortly after lunchtime when they went to a Filipino restaurant near the corner of Vermont Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard to have a snack.

Among the plates, the trio ordered were “goto” (porridge) and “tokwa’t baboy.”

His friends said they did not notice anything unusual with the musician while they were eating.

“We were even sharing our plates with one another,” recalled one of his friends.

After they finished their meals, however, Durias suddenly felt an excruciating pain in his belly as he was about to leave the table. He returned to his seat clutching his belly and asked his friends to call 911.

The responders arrived within five minutes but Durias had passed out by that time.

The paramedics provided first aid to Durias and rushed him to a hospital.

Hours later, one of the two friends received a call from the hospital informing him that Durias was in very critical condition. The said friend connected hospital staff with Durias’s family in Seattle, Washington.

Durias was a resident in Seattle and was in Los Angeles to perform with a lineup of musicians that included his former South Border bandmates.

The group did a Christmas concert at the Envision Center which was promoted by DJ Aljess whom they met many years ago when the South Border was still an upcoming band.
